The second presidential debate was less one-sided than the first, meaning President Obama was not as distracted, while Mitt Romney turned in a solid performance.The level of confrontation was far higher than anything previously seen between the two men. Obama was very stale. He didn’t look good. Romney looked a lot better — like a president. Obama looked like a salesman.
It is clear the media will declare Obama the winner, for his performance was not as weak as previously, and because they are predisposed to do so, as Daren Jonescu laid out earlier tonight. I am far from certain that the president gained any support. Mitt Romney interacted well with the audience, and gave the lie to the hundreds of millions of dollars of Obama propaganda that has labeled him a monster.
Both men interrupted each other, to my eyes Obama more than Romney, and both entered each others’ personal space. Obama enjoyed 2 -3 more minutes of speaking time that Romney did, as was true int he first debate.
Later fact checkers can clarify the dispute between the two men over Obama’s contention that his Rose Garden address on 9/12 called the Benghazi attack a terror attack. But moderator Candy Crowley entered the dispute, essentially calling Obama correct, the clearest indication of her bias.
Romney laid out the failures of Obama clearly. Obama for the most part repeated previous talking points, and for anyone paying attention, his answers were stale.

obama came across as trying to save a sinking ship by bulling. And really, could he have said “I” anymore in his statements? He spends too much time playing and going on talk shows to know what is really going on so he had to be prepped for debate. He has not one idea of his own. Paid speaker and no more and we all know that now.
I wouldn’t call it a draw when one man has to keep correcting the other one. Most of the time Mitt had to correct the lies OBummer spewed. To me a Liar is a looser.
Oh another thing OBummer has got to be the BIGGEST cry baby I have EVER seen in my life!! Good Lord what a disgrace. WAAAA WAAAA WAAAA
Obama gave quite the performance…………and it was exactly that, A PERFORMANCE. His same old lines are becoming an annoyance. His delusion that everything is fine, he has fixed everything, our economy is getting better…………WHAT COUNTRY IS HE TALKING ABOUT? AMERICA IS NOT FINE. Further more, he is a blatant liar, and I will not vote for a liar. He scolded Romney saying he was offended by the accusations regarding his cover up in Lybia…………well, me and many other Americans are offended by his intent to control our lives, our healthcare, and to even suggest that our constitution has flaws. The moderator acted in favor of Obama, as was expected. Mitt Romney did a great job considering he was forced to defend many false statements made by Obama, and had to force his way in many times to do so. Barack retreated to his stool many times to pout, wearing his angry arrogant face of defeat. I say Mitt Romney won this debate also.
These liberals can twist & spin all they want, but Mitt Romney has been honest and professional. He shines with intelligence, expertise, and motivation. How any American can stand in support of a bold face liar is inconceivable to me…………I would be embarrassed just knowing his past and affiliations, he is a gangster.
Anyone catch the WHOPPER of all lies when asked by audience member about gun laws,
Obama said “…A month ago I visited a young man at the hospital shot in the head from the ‘theater massacre’, then TWO MONTHS LATER I saw him and he was doing fine”!!!!!
Hmmm, let’s see, one month ago adding two months later equals= 1 month from NOW in the freekn future!
Did I hear him right?
Did anyone else hear that blatant compulsive lying episode unfold on national TV?
Romney must quickly publicly vet, expose and condemn Obama. It might be the last chance anyone has to do it. The accumulated open source evidence is massive and clearly shows Obama and his insurgents are the gravest threats to our national security and survival. From Obama’s commie mommie to his jihadi ring the evidence of his treachery is beyond any reasonable doubt. Obama and his gang must be in a maximum security lockup, not in public office. The “debates” are an utterly obscene and insane spectacle. Romney can act like a typical RINO and deny reality hoping to get elected, he can continue on as McCain II and give us the illusion of choice, or he can man up and call out Obama. Millions of lives are at stake. http://elect.ErnestHuberForCongress.com/
The second debate clearly exposed Obama as being what he is a liar and a poor one at that! He needs to be removed from office in handcuffs and a waist chain, he is the most evil criminal to have been brought into this world/ He has destroyed millions of lives as have the Democratic party, that forced the banks to make loans to people that could not pay back the loans and crashed the housing market.
